Long before our own day of self-help books offering twelve-step programs and other guides to attain happiness, the philosophers of ancient Greece explored the riddle of what makes a life worth living, producing a wide variety of ideas and examples to follow. This rich tradition was recast by Diogenes Laertius into an anthology, a miscellany of maxims and anecdotes, that generations of Western readers have consulted for edification as well as entertainment ever since the \u003cem\u003eLives of the Eminent Philosophers\u003c\/em\u003e, first compiled in the third century AD, came to prominence in Renaissance Italy. To this day, it remains a crucial source for much of what we know about the origins and practice of philosophy in ancient Greece, covering a longer period of time and a larger number of figures-from Pythagoras and Socrates to Aristotle and Epicurus-than any other ancient source.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diogenes Laertius, Pamela Mensch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197523390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197523391\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Diogenes Laertius","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048879812863,"sku":"9780197523391","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_49e44d55-8bfd-43fb-815f-b192eddcd927.jpg?v=1684998357","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lives-of-the-eminent-philosophers-diogenes-laertius-9780197523391","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
